CLASSROOM SHOWCASE
This week we have pictures from Carol Haleian at the Harlem Library, level 3/4 class.
The students are making a timeline for Obama. The 4X6 index card is my cheat sheet. Use in combination with YouTube video Barack Obama-U.S. Most photos are from google images.
This week we have pictures from Carol Haleian at the Harlem Library, level 3/4 class.
Please send me pictures, and be sure to include the branch name and level. I need them by the end of the business day on Wednesday. If I already have enough submissions for the week- that just means your pictures will be published the next week. Personally, I think the pictures that you share are the best part of the blog.
Thank you! elizabethschade@nypl.org
